Directions
The tour starts at the Feriendorf Oberreit at the parking lot by the barrier. From there, a forest road leads steadily uphill through the woods until reaching the alpine area. At the fork in the road, keep left towards Erlhofalm, before a narrow meadow path leads up to the saddle between Breitkopf and Schaflkopf.
From here, the tour becomes more challenging: surefootedness and freedom from vertigo are required. From the saddle, you can reach the summit of Breitkopf to the left and Schaflkopf to the right. Afterwards, the path continues to Stolzkopf and down to Heubergscharte.
Via a forest road, you reach the Heubergalm, before returning along the forest path to the junction Erlhofalm and finally back to the starting point at the parking lot.
